Chapter 256 - 175: The Heavenly Tribulation of Worldly Calamities, Life Span Tribulation
Outside the Ninth Grotto Heaven, a thin light barrier trembled slightly.
"Has it begun?"
Gu Wen and Jun Yan pressed their ears against the light barrier, faintly hearing collision sounds.
This barrier, impervious to all methods, did not block vibrations; most barriers against the outside world worked likewise, especially fixed arrays.
Because there was no need—vibrations, sounds, light, and so on did not provide outsiders with any useful information. Most cultivators probed with Divine Thought, and guarding against such probes was of the utmost importance.
An additional function in a Daoist Skill meant doubling the effort and concentration; the same was true for arrays. The more complex the functions, the more prone to error.
The truly top-notch spells usually had only one function, either offensive or defensive. Those that were meant for both were generally crude spells from the marketplace of the cultivation world.
"It should have started." Jun Yan nodded and said, "Can Chi Yu Zi manage it? That’s a Demi Immortal we’re talking about. I’ve heard that the Golden Core Path’s Demi Immortal has reached the pinnacle, just one step away from immortality."
Gu Wen spread his hands and said, "What can we do? Do we have any other option?"
Chi Yu Zi’s problem was insoluble; without restoring her three souls and seven spirits, she would die; if she restored her three souls and seven spirits, she’d face her own Demi Immortal sister. Both scenarios led to death, so it was better to take a chance.
